Chapter 88: “It’s just a medicinal pill (2)”
“What’s the matter, Imperial Brother?” Mo Xuan Fei looked at the paled Mo Qian Yuan as he sneered.
“Jun Wu Xie’s temper has always been like this, she doesn’t know the difference between heaven and earth, how could you not know this? We are talking about Qing Yun Clan, how could their pills be so easily replicated? If I remember correctly, Jun Wu Xie has never studied any medicine before, the only reason she’s doing this today is because she does not want to make a fool out of herself in front of you.”
When Jun Wu Xie had asked for the furnace room, Mo Xuan Fei laughed, although he did not like her, it was a fact that they were previously engaged although it was due to the pressure by Lin Palace. One or two things he had learned during that period of putting up with her was to be patient and had gained some insight into her temperament.
Jun Wu Xie was simply an arrogant girl who was blessed with looks. If she wasn’t born into Lin Palace, with that temperament of hers, who knew how many times she would have died.
Make a pill? That was even more of a joke.
Who did not know that Lin Palace’s Missy specialized in brewing trouble, and had absolutely no talent in anything else.
Even today, she wanted to personally make a pill to compensate Bai Yun Xian, would that not be an utter disgrace?
From Mo Xuan Fei’s perspective, this was something she would do, such an outrageous act to try to save her face in front of her favored person. She had often went beyond her means to look impressive however it was at her own cost. Keeping up with appearance has been one of the things she had tended to do although they were all beyond her means.
When he suddenly thought of who her current ‘favored person’ was, his face started to be more gloomy.
“I don’t need you to tell me what kind of person she is.” Mo Qian Yuan replied coldly. He was very clear in the eyes of others, they had an ambiguous relationship, although in actual fact they were simply allies.
Jun Wu Xie had some skills, this he knew.
However her opponent was Qing Yun Clan Sovereign’s disciple, and what’s more, this was a secret recipe where others had no access to.
She had not even touched the Jade Dew pill before, how could she refine it?
“If Imperial Brother is distressed, just kill the black cat and everything will be resolved. If she is reluctant, all you need to do is to compensate her with another. We cannot let others say that our Royal Family neglected Qing Yun Clan.” Mo Xuan Fei chuckled, however there was a dangerous glint in his eyes, he wanted Jun Wu Xie to know that Mo Qian Yuan is not a good choice. Even if he, Mo Xuan Fei did not want her, it was impossible between Jun Wu Xie and Mo Qian Yuan.
A prince who can’t even protect his own beloved woman and what’s precious to her, that was simply a trash.
Mo Qian Yuan glared at Mo Xuan Fei, apparently after strolling into his residence with Bai Yun Xian, he had been forgetting his decorum and had been acting more presumptuously by the minute.
This idiot really thought that he was sowing a discord between their relationship? Really stupid.
He could still vividly remember the fear from that night when that huge shadow pounced on him. No way would he ever commit the same mistake again by looking down on that little black cat.
Mo Qian Yuan knew that if Mo Xuan Fei carried on what he was doing now, he would most likely be seeking death, he would experience the black shadow pouncing over him and biting his neck.
On the other side of the Crown Prince’s Residence, Jun Wu Xie had followed the servant to the furnace room. It was just as Mo Qian Yuan had mentioned earlier, although the room was clean, it was evident that this room had not been used in a long time as the bottom of the furnace was clean.
“Pen and paper.” Jun Wu Xie requested from the servant standing by the side.
Once she had the writing materials, she quickly scribbled down a list of herbs that she needed and handed it back.
The servant immediately picked up the written list and looked at it.
“Bring this list of herbs here.”
Volume 1
Chapter 89: “It’s just a medicinal pill (3)”
The servant looked blankly at Jun Wu Xie , her hands full with long lists for herbs, confused on what to do with them and what the Missy of the Jun family wants done.
Jun Wu Xie cast a brief fleeting glance, and the little servant girl was so overcome from the chill in those eyes, she immediately turned around, and hastened out the door.
“Your lowly servant shall prepare it.”
“Am I that scary?” Jun Wu Xie asked the cat in her arms, looking at the back of the lowly hunched over form of the servant as she hastened out.
“No, these are people who have weak hearts.” With no one around, the black cat has no need to hide its ability of speech.
People do not know Jun Wu Xie like the little black cat did. She is neither haughty nor superciliously aloof. She just ….. , does not know how to get along with others ….. in a normal way.
Just imagine, a person kept alone from birth, it is for certain there will be repercussions on human interrelations.
Jun Wu Xie was locked up thirteen long years, her world had only been herself, the mountains of medicine and treatments, and the cold and lifeless medical equipment.
At that time, she barely spoke two words throughout the years. When the little black cat first met Jun Wu Xie, it thought she was mute, and autistic.
She viewed everything coldly, her eyes never showing a single trace of emotion.
From a young age, she was able to dissect still warm bodies unfeelingly, soaking the still fresh organs in formalin.
The little black cat has always felt, its owner, is just a machine incapable of emotions.
That was till the first time she learned to hate, it burned that cage that had imprisoned her.
She was finally freed, but more than a decade of imprisonment had made her develop a regimented, closed up lifestyle. Coming into society, she is unable to blend and mingle with people, unable to integrate.
She preferred to stay in the animal clinic, treating the animals.
Though animals are incapable of speech, and Jun Wu Xie cannot fathom the behavior of people, she is very sensitive and understands the needs and pains of the animals. She knows, why they are suffering, and how to help them.
At these times, Jun Wu Xie, does not need to speak.
Having joined that organization, where she met her only friend, she then began to feel, like a human.
Alas, the time Heaven gave her was short, everything ended before she could learn to lead a normal human life.
For those who viewed Jun Wu Xie as an oddball, little black cat had hated them. It was not its owner that was odd, but it was those people who were stupid, and does not know how to get along with Jun Wu Xie. The unscrupulous little thief was the exception, and it is just proves that its owner is not without feelings, just that she does not know how to show it.
Because ……
No one ever taught her.
But with the Jun Family father and son, the little black cat believes, its owner will be able to go far on this road to being normal!
Meanwhile, the servant sent a lot of herbs, and the medicine furnace fire was rekindled, and the temperature in the room started to rise.
Jun Wu Xie had everyone leave the room, sorted out all the herbs, to treat and process them, her eyes lowered in concentration. In this moment, she was back in those thirteen years of captivity, with the same eyes, familiar movements of the hands, absorbed into her medical prowess.
Extraction, grinding, crushing …… Jun Wu Xie’s soft and fair hands seemed imbued with magic, all that passed those hands, in the blink of an eye, was processed with impeccable precision.
Volume 1
Chapter 90: “First Slap (1)”
Medicine of this present world, is plainly, very similar to the tradit
ional chinese medicine of Jun Wu Xie’s previous world. Though she is unable to produce western medicine, chinese medicine is a breeze for her.
Seeing the herbs being processed one by one, little black cat lay there swinging its tail, unable to shake off the feeling of familiarity with the scene playing out in front of it.
In the past decade, is that not exactly what Jun Wu Xie does? Holed up in the room, labouring over countless heaps of herbs?
In the study, Bai Yun Xian looked on coldly as Mo Xuan Fei and Mo Qian Yuan were engaged in an intense war of words.
Light was fading, as sunset approached, the Imperial City was aglow in the last vestiges of the warmth from the waning sun, enshrouding the palace in a veil of intoxicating beauty.
“How long do I have to wait?” Mo Xuan Fei looked out at the sky, his patience gradually dissipating.
It has been more than half a day, Jun Wu Xie was still nowhere in sight. He even suspected that in order to protect her, Mo Qian Yuan had even asked his people to secretly hidden her away.
He stood up, intending to check on it.
“Impatience? My brother?” Mo Qian Yuan raised his eyebrows in ridicule as he looked up at Mo Xuan Fei, a sneer on his face.
Mo Xuan Fei was now relying on Bai Yun Xian’s background and his actions were getting impetuous and out of hand. He had almost completely disregarded the Crown Prince status.
“This is the Crown Prince Residence, where you wield absolute dominance, where you can do anything without a single soul knowing. I just hope that you do not cause any friction with Qing Yun Clan because of a small matter. I will remind you to bear in mind that Qing Yun Clan is not to be slighted.” Mo Xuan Fei said retorted.
“Hiding behind a woman’s skirt and you can still be so proud?” An icy voice sounded from a distance. Although her voice still had a hint of immaturity in it, but every word was articulated properly and it was as though each word was doused in ice water.
Outside the door, Jun Wu Xie was standing there with the warm orange sunlight shining on her back, her whole body had a faint glow. With her pure white robe basking under the magnificence of the golden sunlight, everything seemed unreal. With the little black cat lying on her shoulder, this contrast in black and white was so striking, and in her small hands held a white porcelain bottle, this scene was as if she walked out of a dream.
“Wu Xie.” Mo Qian Yuan stood up in awe, as if his body did not belong to him. Under the beautiful golden dusk, she was a sight to behold.
This beautiful scene had also impacted Mo Xuan Fei who imprinted this deep within his mind as he looked on in a daze. Bai Yun Xian had caught sight of his reaction and nibbled her lower lip.
Jun Wu Xie walked into the room and placed the porcelain bottle on the table as she carried the little black cat and took a seat.
“Here’s your compensation.” Jun Wu Xie did not look at Mo Xuan Fei but directly at Bai Yun Xian.
Bai Yun Xian furrowed her eyebrows.
Mo Xuan Fei was still in a trance, only when he had happened to see the displeasure in Bai Yun Xian’s eyes did he come to his senses. He hardened his heart and immediately asked: “What is this?”
“Jade Dew pill” Jun Wu Xie replied.
“……………………..” Mo Xuan Fei’s mouth twitched slightly, he had thought that Mo Qian Yuan had sent her away in secret and did not think she was still loitering around. She even had the audacity to claim that the bottle on the table was a bottle of Jade Dew pills!
“Jun Wu Xie, this is quite a claim you are making! This thing here is the Jade Dew pill?” Even if you beat him to death, he would never believe that she could refine the Jade Dew pill.
“Bai Yun Xian would know.” Jun Wu Xie did not bother explaining anything. If these two men started their banter and kicking up a fuss, who knew how long this would take? She was not interested in wasting time.
Mo Xuan Fei was about to say something but Bai Yun Xian stood up and picked the bottle up from the table.
“Miss Jun, your cat ruined my pills, I do not mind, but now you just stuff something in a bottle and say its Jade Dew pills? That is an insult to our Qing Yun Clan’s reputation and I won’t allow it!” Bai Yun Xian glared at Jun Wu Xie.
Volume 1
Chapter 91: “First Slap (2)”
“The Jade Dew pill’s recipe is an exclusive and tightly guarded secret recipe within our Qing Yun Clan. Based on the time needed to refine this pill, it’s already wrong. To completely refine the Jade Dew pill, you need at least three to five days. You spent only half a day and you claim it’s the Jade Dew pill? Do you think I’m a child and you can easily fool me?” Bai Yun Xian laughed coldly, she absolutely did not believe that the contents in the porcelain bottle was the Jade Dew pill.
The refining method to this pill was unique to their Qing Yun Clan, others did not know that the time to refine such a pill would take such a long time. This Lin Palace Missy simply wanted to pull a fast one and stuffed some medicinal pills, claiming the contents in the bottle to be the Jade Dew pills. If she let such mockery drag on, it would really be a huge joke.
“Three to five days?” Jun Wu Xie raised her eyes and looked at Bai Yun Xian in a condescending manner as if challenging her.
Bai Yun Xian sneered.
“Why don’t you say something after verifying it?”
After talking so much, wouldn’t the facts speak for itself?
“There is no need for that.” Bai Yun Xian scoffed as she raised the bottle up in an attempt to throw it.
Mo Qian Yuan swiftly got up, with a set of resolute eyes, he said, “Miss Bai, why are you in such a hurry? We just need to verify the contents of the bottle. Unless Miss Bai is worried that you aren’t able to recognize the Jade Dew pill?” Mo Qian Yuan secretly clenched his fists under his long sleeves. After hearing the time needed to refine the Jade Dew pill, his mind was thrown into disarray.
However when he saw that Jun Wu Xie was cool and composed, he did not know why but his heart had also calmed down.
Her expression was still serene and remained unaffected by Bai Yun Xian’s comments.
He should believe her, he told himself.
Mo Qian Yuan’s unconditional trust towards Jun Wu Xie had prompted his previous actions and his questions had forced Bai Yun Xian to do a verification.
Yes, forced to.
“Your Highness, what do you mean?” Bai Yun Xian’s expression was getting uglier and uglier.
“I’m sure Miss Bai is able to determine Qing Yun Clan pills quite easily, and you are a very sensible person. Regardless whether the pills refined by Jun Wu Xie are the Jade Dew pills, if you do not personally verify it, it might cast a doubt whether or not you have the ability to accurately verify if the pill is genuine or not? Others might think you may be eager to destroy evidence?” Mo Qian Yuan had made his decision to carry this through with determination.
Bai Yun Xian had no way to back down. If she does not verify the authenticity of it, wouldn’t it let their imaginations run wild and they might really think of something so preposterous?
“Your Highness is this determined to protect Jun Wu Xie? If that’s the case, then I shall do as you wish. However, if the pills which she has refined are not the Jade Dew pills, then Your Highness will also bear the same guilt of slandering my Qing Yun Clan.” Bai Yun Xian replied curtly.
“Alright.” Mo Qian Yuan gritted his teeth, he was going all in.
Mo Xuan Fei secretly sneered, it was not that he didn’t pave a road for Mo Qian Yuan, he was suicidal and was courting his own death.
Regardless whether the Crown Prince has power or not, the Emperor and Mo Xuan Fei cannot touch him directly as they needed to uphold their reputation. Now that he had threaded on this path of no return on his own by offending Qing Yun Clan, they did not need to dirty their own hands and let Qing Yun Clan crush him.
Mo Qian Yuan ah, Mo Qian Yuan, you are stupid beyond redemption. You actually offended Bai Yun Xian for this woman?

Chapter 92: “First Slap (3)”
No one believes that Jun Wu Xie is capable of producing the Jade Dew pill, the authenticity of it does not make a difference .
Jun Wu Xie looks at Mo Qian Yuan thinking, if Bai Yun Xian refuses to verify the pill’s authenticity, she knows how to make her do it. With Mo Qian Yuan’s intervention, she remains silent.
With Mo Qian Yuan dragging Qing Yun Clan’s name into this, Bai Yun Xian was forced to verify the pills’ authenticity. Veiled under her calm exterior, her heart fostered a deep hatred for Jun Wu Xie and Mo Qian Yuan, as no one has ever dared to speak in such a manner to her.
Bai Yun Xian smiles coldly, and opens the medicine bottle.
In the brief moment the lid is opened, a balmy fragrance permeates the air, an all too familiar smell, exactly like the Jade Dew pills scattered on the ground.
Bai Yun Xian paled, eyes widened in surprise.
“Impossible …..” As a disciple of Qing Yun Clan, Bai Yun Xian had made the Jade Dew pills countless times, and its fragrance, is deeply ingrained into her heart.
The smell from this bottle, is exactly the same?
The flabbergasted look on Bai Yun Xian made Mo Xuan Fei sit up tensed, his face darkening.
“Are you convinced?” Jun Wu Xie asks, eyebrows slightly raised, bringing her cup of tea to her mouth, slowly, calmly sipping.
“I am not done.” Bai Yun Xian answers, through gritted teeth.
Pills glistening like white jade poured from the bottle into her hand, no different from those scattered across the floor. Bai Yun Xian turned the pills over and over again in meticulous scrutiny, as a chill crept into her heart.
These are clearly Jade Dew pills!
“How could this be ……” Bai Yun Xian’s lips trembled, unable to believe herself.
Mo Xuan Fei saw the disbelief in Bai Yun Xian’s eyes and his heart sank. He hurriedly jumps to his feet, and insinuates: “Even though the appearance and smell do have similarities, the pills are after all fake. Rest assured Yun Xian, for the insolence Jun Wu Xie has shown you and the disrespect to Qing Yun Clan, justice will be meted out.”
